Presidential Election | Views from the Authors

I just thought I would put a short little post in here. I was browsing around on Facebook and one my friends said that, “He didn’t have my vote. But, now he has my support.” I agree 100% with what was said here! I think that though Barrack may not be my choice, he was God’s choice. And I’d thought I would mention that God’s choice, it is usually better then mine. 

See, now that Obama has been elected, a lot of people are angry, people want to kill Obama, people really don’t realize that what they are saying is, “I hate what God has chosen for me!” God made the decision for Obama to be president, we didn’t. 

Now, though I believe that Barrack doesn’t have the best plans, I do think that he deservers my respect. He is my president, and the truth is, he can’t mess up God’s plan. So, please, when you get all angry and depressed because we have a socialist president, just don’t. God made this decision, not us.

With the arrival of the news that Barrak Obama is our next president, there is one thing that I do not regret about this. I am glad that we now have a president of african american decent. But what makes a man qualified to be president? Is it the color of his skin? Or his experience and knowledge of how to efficiently do the job? America was so anxious, so ready to get a black man in the White House that we were willing to turn a blind eye to everything this man stands for, to sacrifice everything America stands for and to embrace what America has fought against since the day it was founded, namely socialism. For those who doubt that Obama could possibly be socialist I have a few words for you. Obama’s ”Spread the wealth” idea is the very foundation of socialism. I quote Karl Marx (founder of socialism).

“To those according to their need, from those according to what they have.”

In other words, Give to those who do not have (and will not labor for) what the man who has worked hard owns.

But what will we do? Will we sit back and watch our country turn against the very principals that it was built on? No! I urge you not to give up, but to continue to fight for what is right and good. So please, do not be discouraged, be encouraged! For after all, God always has the first, the present and the last word in everything.

I am very saddened that John McCain did not win. I think now with Barack Obama as our next president we are now up against some very hard times. Such as losing the freedom of religion, the freedom to own guns, the freedom of speech. As well as being up against a communist/marxist government. But overall God is in control.

Revealing the Need for a Savior

Why is it that some people do not accept the Gospel with great joy? After all it is the greatest news known to man.
For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
1 Corinthians 1:18
The word of the cross is the Gospel, the word “Gospel” means “Good news.” To some people the Gospel is foolishness and nonsense. Why? It is the best news in the world!  To them the Gospel is like a rescue team come to save them when they don’t think they need saving. They are not aware of the great danger that is waiting for them after death. Notice in 1 Corinthians 1:18 it says “Those who are perishing” they are already sinking themselves deeper and deeper into their sin and they don’t even realize it. As Christians it is our duty to warn them of the coming wrath, so that they will realize that they need a savior.
In their case the god of this world [Satan] has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. - 2 Corinthians 4:4
Satan tries very hard to keep unbelievers from seeing the light of the Gospel. But with the power of Jesus Christ we can help them see their need for a savior.

Abortion-A Big Deal

I imagine all of you know about abortion. Now, when you here that word, what do you think? This is what I’m afraid most of us think, “Yes, it is wrong. But is it really worth acting on? I mean, what can I really do about it?” Well, we are the ones that need to take action. If we do not take action, who will?

So what is abortion?

An abortion is the removal or expulsion of an embryo or fetus from the uterus, resulting in its death. It isn’t taboo, it isn’t considered a crime. In fact, it is so common that about 26 million women obtain abortions each year.

Taken from AbortAware.com

There you go. Violent, gruesome, murder. We need to take action. You can make a difference. Don’t think that just because we are young doesn’t mean that we can put it aside and ignore it.

Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.

1 Timothy 4:12 (New International Version)

See, here is the problem. We can just be quiet. We can just sit around and hope for adults to do something. Now I am not saying that adults can’t do something, just saying that they are not always going to be the ones to do it.

So, what can you do to help?

Well, you can join the forums on AbortAware.com. You can tell your friends about the murder going on behind the curtain. You can start a organization. You can at least pray. Pray for the ones who won’t have a chance to see what the world has to offer. The ones who won’t get to grow up.

Here is a video giving a brief history behind abortion.

Patience

Welcome to the T.S.A.! I hope this post finds you doing well. We are going to be doing posts just like this for the site. Me and Connor will be rotating back and forth with posts. Today, we have decided to let Connor do the first post. So, here it is!

First of all, patience is earned by enduring through hard times.  Sometimes God makes us go through hard times, and we ask him “Why?  Why must you put me through this?  Can’t you at least give me some hope that it will end?”  Sometimes he does it for reasons like testing our faith, but sometimes it’s for the sole purpose of teaching us patience.  Being patient is hard, and it’s especialy hard for Americans, who live in such a fast paced world that if we have to wait at the drive-thru for more than five minutes for our food, we get really grumpy. just little things like that get me really irratated. God says we should do the opposite. 

Ephesians 4:2 - “I therefore, a prisoner for the lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace.”

It says we are called to be patient!  It is what we are meant to do.  Be patient, and bear with one another in love.  Remember, whenever you are going through hard times, be patient, no matter how black it looks, God will always pull you through it.
